What is Trademark Clearance Searches?
A trademark clearance search is the pre-filing investigation that identifies prior registered or common-law marks similar to the one you intend to use. It surfaces likelihood-of-confusion issues, descriptiveness problems, and potential infringement risk before you invest in branding, packaging, marketing, or product launches.
